Herbivore absence can shift dry heath tundra from carbon source to sink during peak growing season

Herbivore absence can shift dry heath tundra from carbon source to sink during peak growing season

In arctic tundra, large and small mammalian herbivores have substantial impacts on the vegetation community and consequently can affect the magnitude of carbon cycling. However, herbivores are often absent from modern carbon cycle models, partly because relatively few field studies focus on herbivor...
